about

'Kerala Girl' is borne out of Shine Bachi's obsession with his home land Kerala. Bachi sang this song to one of his friend Chippu Shakir and there starts the story of this track. He produced and made it real.
As the track says bachi was born to a monsoon (All along, the lyricist made grammatical errors to fit the english lyrics to a south indian folkish tempo) and after crisscrossing the whole world he is longing to come back to his home land kerala. This song is for all particularly the ubiquitous mallu.
Shane Bachi is a balladeer trying fusions. He loves to sing in English with a strong Indian folkish base.

lyrics

'Kerala Girl'

i was born to a monsoon
with the smell of earth everywhere
raining all the day
with the wildest wind blowing

quite a restless kid
i grew up world over

to see the world, i m all around
to see the world

Gun Gunare nare gun gunare nare
Gun gunare ro
Gun Gunare nare gun gunare nare
Gun gunare ro
Mopasi dija nida Nachi Nathi nari
Mopasi dija nida ro
Mopasi dija nida nachi nathi nari
Mopasi dija nida ro
Mopasi Dija nida ro.

ive been to far off lands
enchanting every ways
all the days new days
like the newly wed guys do

but the beauty was skin deep
in search of true love again

coming to you girl,keralam, keralam

Gun Gunare....

Promiscuous me, oh my girl
You were like loyal to me
I was like sleepin' all 'round
So many dirty flings and
Later that came upon me
you are my dainty virgin queen

She's a gorgeous green lady
With plumeria white studs
She would bask in the sun
with a coco juice on her lap

All the way from here
i am gonna see her again.

Gun Gunare.

Keralam...ke Keralam.
